+1. That's what happened to mine on a Mustang I used to own. Just headed home from a tire shop and was coming to a stop at red light and the passenger side front wheel and tire broke loose and rolled for about football field then into a ditch.

I've seen that happen when using the wrong kind of lug nuts (using an acorn style nut on a wheel designed for SST) but that's crazy for both of them to break like that.
